Charles Fry, former Hants & Northants player but better known as former MCC Committee member, Chairman and President who oversaw the introduction of women members, dead aged 84. Son of Stephen Fry (not that one) and Grandson of the more famous C. B. Fry.

@Death Impends Fethullah Gülen (2021) & Andrew Schally (2018) for List of the Missed.

If someone who dies is on the list they are a 'hit', ergo, everyone else who dies who is not on the list is a 'miss'. Why the argument, what are people trying to prove?

I'd go so far as to say there's a definite possibility of certain maybe.

You wait ages for a hit then two come along practically together, with Quincy Jones providing a hit for me.

No more self-preservation.

If you're asking the question, the answer's more than likely 'no'.

I'd be surprised if she's still leader by 2029. I'd be less surprised if she joined reform before then.

Of more concern for Sinha is the recent open-heart surgery, and the family history of heart disease leading to premature death.

If you took the time to read the story you'd have found that this referred to an episode of Beat the Chasers filmed in 2022.

Giles Cheatle, who won the 1978 Gillette Cup with Sussex against a Somerset team containing Viv Richards, Ian Botham & Joel Garner, has died aged 71 after a long illness. He later joined Surrey before emigrating to Australia. His daughter Lauren is a former Australian international.

If the Telegraph has covered Julia Hawkins, surely Nadia Cattouse can't be far behind!

Anyone we know in Bloomington, Indiana?

Anybody dead yet?

Ken MacAulay, a single-cap winner for Scotland has died a day after completing a 1000-mile charity cycle ride, cardiac arrest.

I recognised the castle...

Treated myself to a trip to the cinema to see The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie as it was showing a one-off screening as a tribute to Dame Maggie. I can't remember the last time I saw it (on TV) but it was so long ago I'd forgotten various bits of it, but overall, as good as I remember it. I do think its a pity Pamela Franklin never had a more substantial career following this film.

Good job he hasn't died then!

On the subject of Helen Mirren, this Twitter account exists... https://twitter.com/MirrenLaments Despite being created in August, it appears to have only started posting yesterday, around the time that Standard interview surfaced!

i like how The Guardian is careful to report it that "Joe Lycett says he's become a father" rather than "Joe Lycett has become a father".

There's no guarantee he'll see 2025; wouldn't be at all surprised if there's a Jeffrey Epstein-type incident the next couple of months.

and of course, Fort William.
